I just want to switch one time. I got on the beta like a year ago when the current version was unstable, and I've been trying to get back to release since that version was released. Where can I find this documentation? How do I install the stable release to port the profile to? Every attempt I've made results in me still having the beta version.
GitLab, I love you, but you aren't very consistent in your price structure.

This appears to be a simplification though, which works for me.
You forgot NoScript.

Decentraleyes is neat but I've found multiple sites it breaks.
Actually they miscalculated and didn’t realize Turkish intelligence had thoroughly infiltrated their embassy. Like so well that the Saudis had actually done a counter surveillance sweep and not discovered it.

They then further miscalculated the politics of the situation and didn’t think the Turks would weigh in once it became clear the murder was captured on tape.

> The problem is people no longer care about performance, nor do you have the engineering talent to write performant web applications.

I don't think that's the whole story. I don't have hard numbers but Electron-based applications seem to reliably be far more bloated than applications using ordinary GUI frameworks.

I agree that deprioritising performance is part of the problem, but as far as I can tell the web is a very poorly performing GUI framework, when it's used as such.
The downside of that is being 'in the red', which is also potentially problematic.

To fix the problem, we either have to stop referring to any metaphor/symbol involving color with negative connotations; or we have to stop using color to identify and refer to people. I think the former is good for precision (allowlist/denylist are great identifiers in that regard), but won't really solve our other problems; while the latter is probably better for human dignity, mutual respect, and combating our propensity for tribalism/racism. (Or, why not, we could do both.)
Nice! I actually think it's better that other people also think this idea is worth building. Especially if they're targetting a different niche.
Except that Interledger is not a "random third party", it's a protocol: https://interledger.org/

So that you can make payments to someone else regardless of whether they want to use Bitcoin or not.

I believe Interledger is the right level of abstraction for this, in the same way that you wouldn't want your email server to have to know or code against the lower protocols, e.g. Ethernet or WiFi, but only IP, TCP and SMTP. This way your email server can EHLO any email server, regardless of the network topology or underlying protocols.

Interledger does the same for payments.
The same left that cheered the removal of calls for violence, including ones sporting the threadbare figleaf of being about nonexistent election fraud -- yes, that one.

To the degree that these sites are calling for violence, I'm all for it. If that merely means the use of the word "revolution" often associated with socialism, honestly, it's time to get a new buzzword. It has become pathetic, in a "South Postpones Rising Again For Yet Another Year" fashion[1]. If they're serious about violent revolution, Facebook is well within their rights to remove it. If they're not, stop playing armchair revolutionary.

Facebook make it quite clear that shutting down right wing conspiracy theories was about the potential for violence. If that's the case for left-wing groups as well, they should say so, as a blanket statement if not on a case-by-case basis.

If they're doing it out of a sense of "balance", so that they can remove nonviolent groups of various sorts, that I oppose. Violence is a fairly bright-line concept and I've got no fear of it becoming a slippery slope. Conpsiracy theories tending to incite violence are less clear and more fraught, but January 6 demonstrated conclusively that it's a genuine and not merely theoretical issue.

What about air quality? There are actually air filters in a form of a patch or a package similar to miniature mustard packets through which drives breathe. Supposedly those are super fine filters but toxic gas molecules might still pass through them.

Many people fail to realize it does not have to be expensive to get "fit". (north) Americans have the bad habit of buying expensive equipment long before it's required for their task / sport, opting to spend their way into an image before earning their way by doing.

To paint an analogy, people have bought >$1000 sport bicycles they ride a few times a year, effectively lowering their resistance and making the work out they need ~easier~ (physically) than it otherwise would have been.

Of course, it's not my place to dictate how people choose to spend their money, but marketing is not helping people who think they have to buy an expensive piece of equipment, as a pre-requisitite, to achieve a goal.
> This is incorrect

You are right about Schengen.

But I had to show my passport a couple of years ago on a flight from Vienna to Norway, so I thought they weren't part of Schengen. I'm not sure why, but I believe the reason must have been the "temporary border controls" introduced in 2015.
> They are given a lot of latitude in how they run elections, limited by state law and state constitution edits that are also controlled by state legislatures.

State Constitution changes are often controlled by the people, ultimately, not the legislature, which has occasionally been used in Presidential election cases to argue that such State Constitutions cannot constrain regulation of state elections because they are not under the exclusive control of the legislature. The federal courts have, IIRC, consistently and emphatically rejected this logic, though.
> Guessing shit like the ST3000DM001 is a whole different thing entirely.

:-) Yeah, there are times where the failure rate can rise so high it threatens the data durability. The WORST is when failures are time correlated. Let's say the same one capacitor dies on a particular model of drive after precisely 6 months of being powered up. So everything is all calm and happy and smooth in operations, and then our world starts going sideways 1,200 drives at a time (one "vault" - our minimum unit of deployment).

Internally we've talked some about staggering drive models and drive ages to make these moments less impactful. But at any one moment one drive model usually stands out at a good price point, and buying in bulk we get a little discount, so this hasn't come to be.
Touché -- I am attempting to make a distinction between the general statement of "javascript slows the web down" to a certain type of Javascript slows the web down, namely lazy and careless Javascript slows the web down. We reach for the dependency first instead of carefully analyzing our requirements and making an engineering decision. I've seen it countless times, fallen victim to it a few times myself. It's really easy to do. No one stops to ask, "perhaps we do not need a hard dependency, and need to include that 15kb library, but rather just need a few functions from it?" or "perhaps a simple algorithm would indeed suffice." We mindlessly reach for complex regex engines to solve simple parsing problems, try to garner "functional programming cred" by reaching for a series of collection functions from our favorite 50kb utility package when a simple c-style for loop would have not only sufficed, but indeed got the job done much faster.

All this results in bloated, unoptimized javascript bundles. To top it off, we under cache, and aggressively cache bust, and ship unminified bundles with oodles of source maps because of "developer experience" I can't tell you how many times I see, to this day, a fortune 500 company bundling an entire unminified javascript framework. Wirth's law indeed.

Hope this was a little less empty. These are my observations having done this for a few decades now and managing developers these days.

Take a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_He...

and remove all launches where SpaceX was the customer (a net loss unless the payload they launch has payoff), and specifically look at the GTO launches (the ones that pay the most money). There are fewer and fewer GTO launches, and the number of customers has been going down. A cursory glance shows 2017 had 8, 8 in 2018, 4 in 2019, 2 in 2020, and about 8 planned in 2021 (we'll see, these typically slip quite a bit. The point being that they need profitable launches (not a small satellite they rideshare with 10 starlinks on) to sustain a launch business with that many engineers on it. I think 2021 will launch maybe half the GTO/GEO they're targeting this year due to delays, as was the case in 2020.
cable tv always had ads because the cable subscription goes to an infrastructure provider not the content provider. If the infrastructure provider was the content provider there is a substantial incentive to reduce or eliminate ads a la Netflix and Amazon Prime which largely restrict ads to brief promotions of other content on the network.
This is a common technique when laying up carbon fiber / fiberglass parts. For each layer you put down, you vary the orientation of the fibers such that you don't end up with them all pointing in the same direction. This makes the material behave more like something homogeneous, like steel or aluminum, for example.

I don't see what this has to do with lobster shells.

It's still a separate factory making separate drives. This line even uses a different storage controller. But this is also true for luxury ranges, in general, so you may be asking for too fine of a distinction. (Their usual luxury range is the WD Red, however.)

There's other possible possible confounding factors, like the rise of mass media and the internet, leaving the gold standard and the growth of the finance, increased beaucratization and corporatization of everything, etc. Hard to know sometimes how all this stuff is related.

But I think it is valid that the parent pointed out that younger generations today feel screwed, that they won't be able to do as well economically or socially as their parents. Many are lonely on the internet, trapped in student loans, and searching for decent jobs. On average they are having to postpone leaving their parents houses, getting married, having kids and buying a house, waiting to do these things until significantly later in life than their parents and grandparents. They've heard about the American Dream and don't feel like they'll have it. And there's a lot of them.

I know that this is not true for everybody, lots of things are better, and it's relative - other people have it worse, etc. But this sentiment is still a thing - a lot of young people feel like they have it worse than their parents and grandparents.

I don't know that debating the details will change their minds.

Oh nice! I've been wanting a container extension that just works on every site by default.
"The screen itself is a work of wonder. At 8.9 inches, it can support resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600 px. That’s insane. No-one on Earth has eyesight good enough to comfortably read text that small for an extended period. Yes, it’s just about do-able, and the text itself is perfectly formed, but eyestrain will quickly become an issue. After spending an evening at 1920 x 180, I eventually set it to an easy 1440 x 900 px."

Well, why using non-native resolution and cripple your experience? I'd say it's better to use scaling or just change font size. And one remark, it would be awesome if OS and GUI toolkit manufacturers started to correctly support DPI already, none of my screens is 96 DPI.
I think that if the wider open source community can maintain API client libraries for every imaginable SaaS API and every popular programming language, there's no reason that it can't maintain open source ELT connectors for all of these sources as well.

I work at GitLab as project lead of Meltano (https://meltano.com/) — which embraces Singer instead of abandoning it — and we've seen a lot of interest from data consultancies looking for mature tooling around deploying and developing Singer taps, many of whom have expressed that they'd be happy to maintain open source ELT connectors for data sources that are commonly used by their clients, if they can significantly save on ELT costs that would otherwise get passed on to those clients.

Of course, only one data consultancy (or data team at a company) would need to maintain an open source tap, and others that need the same source for _their_ clients can contribute and help keep it up to date.
It's always timing isn't it... Thanks for those links.

Weird. On iOS, it’s:

(1) scroll down a tiny bit to reveal bottom bar

(2) tap the box with the tab count

(3) tap “+”

(4) tap HN

Both (2) and (3) are at the bottom of the screen, and (1) can be done near the bottom. (4) is the only one with a reach up to the top.

Which leaves the question: why are the UIs between the two platforms different?
Ahhh the Psion 3a. My dad had one of these and used it everyday for 20 years. Ran for weeks on 2 AA batteries and took it with him everywhere (smaller than a wallet).

I learned to code in OPL on the Psion 3 which he passed down to me after he got the 3a. Ah memories. Does a modern equivalent exist?
> PostgreSQL's statistics collection, which is used by the query planner, doesn't scale with storage size.

Out of curiosity, do statistics collectors for other offerings (e.g. MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle) scale with storage size?
It's true that many papers have mistakes, but the reasons for that go further than types, the main one being the prevalence of uneducated spreadsheet warriors.

I definitely agree that if you're making a big custom model you should use a typed language. But indeed, that requires a lot of learning, so the investment has to be worth it. The problem is often that scientists don't program all day, so remembering language intricacies is hard. Dynamic languages that can have their whole syntax written on a postcard make things much easier from that pov.

I really wish I could get off Chrome on mobile, but it just works so flawlessly. I hated Firefox. It always felt like a second-rate mobile browser. I tried Edge and it's better than FF, but Chrome still just feels like how mobile browsing is supposed to be.

I wish Edge or FF could just look identical to Chrome sans being controlled by Google, which already knows far too much about me.
But do they actively move around files to spread bandwidth after the initial write? If they don't, and if I am right that older files tend to be rarely accessed, I would expect entire disks to become unaccessed over time.
I've had first party isolation turned on for possibly a couple of years now (certainly since before the pandemic) and it does break a small number of sites but nothing I particularly care about. Except that one internal tool that I've taken to loading in Chrome :P.

I don't recall the last time I had to temporarily disable it to allow something to work.

I am hopeful that the idea of a B-Corporation[0] will catch on. While not perfect, my impression is that it would confer more benefit to their workforce and society as a whole than traditional S- and C-corps.

For the uninitiated, B-Corps "must receive a minimum score from an assessment of 'social and environmental performance', [and] integrate B Corp commitments to stakeholders into company governing documents".

Patagonia, for example[1][2], seems to be a trailblazer in being transparent about and actively improving their business in terms of logistics (monitoring "the cost of materials that have the potential to be Fair Trade Certified against the volume of materials that are purchased in a Fiscal Year"), corporate culture ("[encourage] work-life balance, as well as a focus on an individual’s physical and mental health"), end products (their "criteria for the best product rests on function, repairability, and, foremost, durability"), and so on.

If we get enough global privacy laws with sufficient teeth, it may be possible for paid models to offer a low risk alternative to spying where you would be constantly at risk of fines for poor decisions on how you implement your data collection. It would be quite a change in the way the internet works financially, but it seems like companies would be likely to adapt to it were it to happen.

You can't stop people from interpreting names as they will.

My reading of the name "Rocky Linux" is similar to my reading of the name "Rocky Balboa". It could be just a name, like "Foo" or it could signify toughness, as "Rocky" does as a nickname in many cases. In two non-fiction cases of boxers, "Rocky" is a diminutive of "Rock" or "The Rock".

>Don’t save crap you don’t need.

I tend to agree with this although it can be hard to determine what you won't want/need in advance and it probably takes at least some effort to winnow things down.

That said, I'm in the middle of going through my photos right now and deleting a bunch of stuff. (Which is a big job.) It's not so much for the storage space as I'll "only" be deleting a few hundred GB. But it's a lot easier to look for stuff and manage it when you don't have reams of near-identical or just lousy pics. One of my takeaways from this exercise is that I should really be better at pruning when I ingest a new batch.

>If you go back to the 90s, when we first figured out how communities built software, it took a lot of work to use the internet. It wasn’t fast or easy, but that made it special: it meant that everyone on the internet cared about it, a lot. You were really committed to being there. Online communities back then were like a federation of villages; each one had its own culture, its own customs, and its own values. The open source community was like that too, and remained so for a long time.

>In these kinds of environments, attracting more users really did advance open source projects, because the costs were usually worth it. When a new member joined a community, they were probably serious about it. There weren’t many “tourists” back then, so there was a real environment of camaraderie. Existing users were happy to onboard you and teach you things, because their effort would likely pay off as a good investment.

>Since community members joined slowly and stuck around, there was a lot of trust and shared context in the group. Every community had a different way of working, so there was a fair amount of friction preventing users from jumping around or “surfing” from project to project. Groups could preserve and maintain their collective motivation to keep shipping; they weren’t getting paid, so that motivation was everything.

>It sounds pretty idyllic, and for many users back then, it was. As the internet grew more popular, the old timers reliably complained every September as a new crop of college freshmen gained access for the first time, not knowing any of the social conventions. AOL opened the floodgates in 1993, which Usenet bitterly declared “Eternal September”, and the internet veterans have been complaining about it since.

>We know what happened next with online content. The tapestry of forums and newsgroups that made up the early internet flourished for a while, but in the 2000s an invasive species arrived: the platforms. The platforms made it so easy to create, share, distribute and discover that everyone joined them, smushing everything together into common, user-friendly formats without the local context or nuance of the smaller groups.

It seems to be an: Oh, let me tell you about the good ole' days when the internet sucked so badly that it amplified natural selection and all the twenty people on it could hack on the Linux kernel and the output was amazing.
